Come on everybody! |
|
I say now let's play a game |
|
I betcha I can make a rhyme out of anybody's name |
|
The first letter of the name, I treat it like it wasn't there |
|
But a B or an F or an M will appear |
|
And then I say bo add a B then I say the name and Bonana fanna and a |
|
fo |
|
And then I say the name again with an F very plain |
|
and a fee fy and a mo |
|
And then I say the name again with an M this time |
|
and there isn't any name that I can't rhyme |
|
Arnold! |
|
Arnold, Arnold bo Barnold Bonana fanna fo Farnold |
|
Fee fy mo Marnold Arnold! |
|
But if the first two letters are ever the same, |
|
I drop them both and say the name like |
|
Bob, Bob drop the B's Bo ob |
|
For Fred, Fred drop the F's Fo red |
|
For Mary, Mary drop the M's Mo ary |
|
That's the only rule that is contrary. |
|
Okay? Now say Bo: Bo |
|
Now Tony with a B: Bony |
|
Then Bonana fanna fo: bonana fanna fo |
|
Then you say the name again with an F very plain: Fony |
|
Then a fee fy and a mo: fee fy mo |
|
Then you say the name again with an M this time: Mony |
|
And there isn't any name that you can't rhyme |
|
